Sustainability programme

Axfood’s sustainability programme is an important governance tool and constitutes the Group’s sustainability policy. The programme describes the targets that have been set and includes a set of key ratios for monitoring in the areas of sustainable products, animal welfare, energy and use of premises, transports, suppliers and employees. The targets are monitored yearly, and every year the programme is updated in pace with continuing work and the formulation of new targets.
